Experienced House Sitter | Animal Lover | Traveler

About this sitter

I'm a quiet, responsible, clean and independent professional who loves animals and travel. I'm happiest in a peaceful home, whether that's enjoying a quiet evening with a book or movie or getting out to explore a new area. I'm friendly and communicative, but respectful of people's privacy and personal space.

I'm looking for house sits where I can genuinely care for a home and its pets rather than simply having a place to stay. I enjoy getting to know animals and keeping them comfortable in their normal routines. I'm happy with walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication and all the little things that help pets feel secure while their owners are away.

I'm particularly interested in sits that allow me to experience a new place like a local. I'm flexible about the length of a sit, from a weekend to a couple of weeks, and I'm especially interested in opportunities in the UK and Ireland. Above all, I'm looking for a good fit where the owners feel completely comfortable leaving their home and pets in my care, and where I can feel like a temporary part of their community.

Why they want to house sit

I love to travel, but I'm much more interested in experiencing a place than simply visiting it. House sitting gives me the opportunity to live somewhere for a while, experience the local community, and have the companionship of animals along the way.

I've been house and pet sitting for several years and discovered that I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. I like caring for animals, keeping a home tidy and secure, and giving owners the peace of mind that everything is being looked after while they're away.

For me, house sitting is a wonderful exchange: I get to experience new places and meet new people and animals, while someone else gets a trustworthy person who will care for their home as if it were my own. I'm especially excited about opportunities in the UK and Ireland because I'd love to experience everyday life there rather than seeing it only as a tourist.

Their experience

Yes. I've been house and pet sitting for several years, primarily caring for dogs and cats. I've cared for multiple pets at once, including elderly, anxious and special-needs animals, as well as pets requiring medication.

My experience ranges from weekend stays to two-week house sits. I have two regular clients whom I sit for twice a year, and they continue to invite me back and recommend me to others. I've also stayed in Airbnb properties and received excellent feedback about how well I've cared for the homes.

I'm comfortable maintaining pets' normal routines, providing walks, playtime and companionship, and handling everyday household responsibilities such as mail, deliveries and trash. I'm clean, quiet, responsible and respectful of people's homes and belongings.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring reliability, responsibility and genuine care for both your pets and your home. I'm a calm, quiet and respectful person who understands that leaving your home and animals with someone is a big responsibility.

I'm experienced with dogs and cats, including multiple pets, elderly and anxious animals, special needs and medications. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, whether that means walks and playtime or simply providing companionship.

I’m clean, organized, a non-smoker, don’t use drugs, and I’m not a party person. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully and communicate well. I can also handle everyday things like mail, deliveries and trash.

Most importantly, I treat every home as if it were my own and take pride in leaving it clean, secure and well cared for. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing everything is in good hands.
